It was my great pleasure to be invited back on to the outstanding data stories podcast last week, for my third appearance! I joined hosts Enrico and Moritz alongside Andrew Vande Moere and Bryan Connor to discuss our feelings on what was big in 2012 and our hopes and expectations for 2013.

Following my recent visit to Johannesberg and Cape Town, I was interviewed by Gill Moodie for Journalism.co.za website, aimed at the Journalists of South Africa, to discuss ‘creating new kinds of stories with data visualisation’.

I was recently interviewed by Kyle Ellis for the excellent Society of News Design (SND) website, to discuss data visualisation and the Olympics. Anyway, if you haven’t had quite enough of my thoughts and opinions of late, then do take a look!

I was recently interviewed for Tiago Veloso’s Visual Loop website, a site for which I have a great affinity. Tiago and I both started our blogging lives at around the same time and he’s a really smashing guy so do check out his site for a relentless stream of visual eye-candy.

A guest article I wrote for the excellent O’Reilly Radar site has just been published. Titled ‘Walking the tightrope of visualization criticism’ this rather long piece reflects on some of the key experiences of my training courses and some general observations about the level and appropriateness of critique that exists in the field.

I was recently interviewed for Mindjet’s ‘Conspire’ website, a new resource which I’ve admittedly only come across over the past couple of months but seems to have some great content. Anyway, if you are so inclined, just click on the image below to be taken to a page containing my ramblings…

Last Thursday I had an enjoyable half hour or so chatting with Ben Jones of DataRemixed.com. Ben recorded the conversation and has now published both the audio and some narrative of this chat on his site.

Hot from the Bremen sound studio is the brand new release of Episode 5 of the Data Stories podcast with Enrico, Moritz and me, as a returning invited guest. In this episode we cover the subject of data visualisation training, a subject clearly close to my heart.

This is not a post so much as a pointer to the just-released-this-minute Episode 4 of the Data Stories podcast with Enrico, Moritz and me as an invited guest. In this episode we do a reflection on Malofiej20

As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I am delighted to have been approached by Editor Mac Slocum to contribute a series of ‘Visualization deconstructed’ articles for the superb O’Reilly Radar website. The first of these articles was published today, focusing on why animated geospatial data works so well.
